Someone told me that the reason Radar can be a problem with bikes is because you can get a strong return signal from the exposed rear wheel of the bike with alloy wheels.
Think about the amount of the back of a spoke you can see on a bike - its enough to give a good return. I can believe it could cause a false reading.
And of course the spoke is traveling away from the camera at much higher speed than the bike.
This could be absolute bollocks of course. If anyone would like an in-depth discussion about trivial unsupported opinions -- Please ask furry.

Boys putting up a sign before a camera sounds great but beware if as an adult you were found to do this or attempt to warn drivers of an approaching camera you could be convicted of attempting to pervert the course of justice.

Not a bad thought somehow still don't think the police would approve
1Blue your knowledge of Gatso cameras and the finer points of radar technolgy is incredible it sounds like u know almost as much as furry
It was the one entering Exmouth, just down the hill from the garage.
Still pinning my hopes on the fact that the holes in the back were closed.
as the only camera that I know of thats always loaded is outside County Hall Topsham road, and those holes are open, whereas the one near the swing bridge vary, as that is sometimes loaded, sometimes not.

If I'm speeding along the road, and a police car sees me but hes on the other side in slow moving traffic and he cant turn around to chase me, Can he get my number by a camera out the back of the car or somthing or have I got away with it?
